Sorry Graham.

I dont understand what you mean by"Have you seen photo's"

The info I gave is repeating what Lindsay found for you.
This is the marriage of Louisa Ingram and Sidney Tompkins.

To go back another generation you need to get that marriage cert from GRO (google if you dont know what GRO is)using the reference no I have given you.

The marriage cert will give both ages, plus both fathers names and occupations.



P.S.
Just realise Graham from reading this thread. When I said I had seen the wedding photo. I was referring to my aunts wedding NOT Sidney Tompkins and Louisa Ingram.

Once again I think you will need to go to the local reg office where your father was born to get his birth cert as not found on Ancestry

Just to say if you are looking for Leslie George Tompkins on Ancestry complete bmds. The records are not complete. or are mistranscribed. I have a definate marriage(seen wedding photo's) which is on the local reg office site but not on Ancestry.Marriage 1940.

Perhaps all years are not transcribed yet.

It will pay you Graham to enquire at the local reg.office where your father should be registered.

You say you have got his marriage - do you mean you have his marriage cert?

If so, - what info is on there about his father and where and when did the marriage take place?

Any addresses or witnesses?

Did you see the marriage I found. Does Kensington sound the right area for a marriage.?

Don't worry about that Graham - we understand you.

It is just that this does not add up.

I cannot find your father's birth - there i something not quite right here.

I may have to go off soon but if I do, I will be back tomorrow and will take a further look.

Perhaps they were adopted? Or perhaps we are looking in the wrong country.

Hello Graham, where are you?

Can we help??
